Product Description

Human love relationships are one of the most fertile grounds for growth and transformation. Also fraught with difficulty, frustration and pain, they dramatize for us our projections, addictions and wounds. Yet conscious use of relationships can be a fast track to spiritual and psychological transformation.

In The Marriage of Sex and Spirit, thirty-five of the most provocative and fresh voices of our generation give us the keys to transforming relationships from a source of grief and bondage to a celebration of self and other. Drawing together the most powerful wisdom of spiritual teachers, psychiatrists, anthropologists, educators, therapists, coaches, writers, artists, this groundbreaking anthology presents the visions and ideas that form the gateway to transforming both spirituality and sexuality. This powerful collection of practical techniques and breakthrough insights offers the potential to utterly transform your experience of relationships into a source of joy, inspiration and fuel for your spiritual and emotional journey.

* Contributors include many best-selling authors including John Gray, Margo Anand, Gay Hendricks, Susie Bright, Wayne Dyer and others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sacred dimensions of sex, April 23, 2007

By	Reader Views "www.readerviews.com" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

Reviewed by Louise Landeta for Reader Views (3/07)

This book is a compilation of philosophical/spiritual/theological thought from a wide variety of teachers in the context of the spiritual dimensions of sexuality. The editor's premise is that sex is sacred.

Ms. Gendreau draws on the wisdom of numerous religious traditions--Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and Jewish, as well as psychological and sociological models. The book presents a wealth of relationship knowledge all in one place and can be an extremely useful resource to those who wish to learn more and improve their interactions with others.

I note, however, that some of the chapters do not seem to have anything or much to say about sexuality, for example Scott Peck, Francine Ward, Wayne Dyer and Gloria Jean to name a few. They are rather more about traditional approaches to interpersonal dealings. This is not to take away from their value, but I do question their relevance to the book's intent.

Nevertheless, I think this is an excellent anthology, a valuable collection of wise words and ideas.

Margot Anand proposes a thought that was completely new to me and one I find intriguing. She says that, "Orgasm brings us closer to the divine than any other experience . . .a bonding happens between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. . .The ego disappears, time and space cease to exist and you become one with energy and consciousness. This is the sacred dimension of sex." I think her chapter in "The Marriage of Sex and Spirit" was one of the best in relationship to the book's stated intent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Information for the real world, January 2, 2007

By	Jeffrey R. Anderson "SpiritAsJeff : )" (Northern California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Who doesn't want to improve thier relationships? The idea of expanding the awareness and integration of spirituality into intimate relationships is something that I think will be critical not just to the improvement of individual relationships but to planetary health. The subject matter, and authors like Chopra, Myss, Church and Thich Nhat Hahn caught my attention initially, and while I enjoyed these established thinkers of our time I also enjoyed the newer voices like Courtney Arnold and Jeanne House among others. As with most anthologies, I didn't agree with everything, but there is so much good information that it far outweighed that which didn't resonate.
This book contains real world information by some brilliant people that can be applied in relationships starting today. If you really want to experience not just good but truly successful and fulfilling relationships, the collective wisdom in books like this just might give you the direction and clarity to do just that!

5.0 out of 5 stars great anthology, September 27, 2007

By	Debrah Roemisch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this book for couples interested in sacred relationship. As it is an anthology you do not have to read all the chapters-some may resonate with you more than others
